Summary: Horrific
Review: I read the reviews offered for this movie and thought hey I might like it. I enjoy some of the soft porn movies, but this one is way more than anything I have ever seen. I don't mean that as good.
First of all I don't know when this movie came out, but it looks like mid '60s. It has a grainy way about it. It isn't like the shadowing they use now, but close. The hair and clothes actually look like '70s so that is probably it.
I tend to want to give benefit of the doubt so I thought maybe it would get better after watching it for about 1/2 hour. This thing is more than 1 1/2 hours long. It didn't, if anything it got worse. The acting in this movie makes porn stars seem intelligent. It is mainly about sadomasticism. That is what I felt like I was being put through watching this thing. The main character is a naive woman who is "owned" by a man who puts her into some cult where men can do whatever they want to the women staying there including beating them with a whip whenever they want to. The nudity was actually plain annoying. There was nothing in this movie to get excited about or make you want to go reinact any of the scenes. Thats just the first hour of the movie. She then goes to belonging to this first guys brother, which doesn't make sense either, so that means she is owned by 2 men. Basically the whole movie is about torture and sex. Believe me it was a torture for me too.
This movie is just plain awful - I had to give it a score of 1 star because of the way this review thing goes, but 1 star is really pushing it. I suppose if you are into SM then you will enjoy this "movie". Oh, by the way the lady's name in the movie is O. Please do not even bother to rent this let alone buy it it would be a complete waste of money.

Summary: O what a disappointment
Review: Had I never read the book, I am sure I would have enjoyed this movie. But the truth is the movie does nothing but show some nice quiet people being nice and quiet. Yes, I say nice. I felt no desperation, violence, love, extremes of the heart that should have been portrayed constantly. I felt very let down. The masters did not display much domination, physically or psychologically. O seemed bored, not attentive or aggressive enough for one who is bound. Two stars for the pretty people. I'd call it a very nice horse movie, National Velvet anyone?

Summary: One of the best and most erotic films ever made.
Review: "The Story of O" is a masterpiece. I wish I would have seen it in its original language (French), but it's dubbed in English pretty good. Do you remember that famous orgy scene from Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut? Well, this entire film feels like that scene and that's very cool. It creates a mysterious and dreamy atmosphere, it has good acting and it's beautifully photographed and edited. You don't get to see a movie like this everyday. Was this film really made in 1975? If I didn't know I would have sweared it was a new release. As jacked as it may sound "The Story of O" deserves to be such a classic -- it stands with brio the test of time and after "Nine 1/2 Weeks" it could very well may be the best erotic film ever made. As jacked as it may sound, I was intrigued by it from the beginning to the end.
